- Abstract: The barrier billiard is the simplest example of pseudo-integrable models with
interesting and intricate classical and quantum properties. Using the
Wiener-Hopf method it is demonstrated that quantum mechanics of a rectangular
billiard with a barrier in the centre can be reduced to the investigation of a
certain unitary matrix. Under heuristic assumptions this matrix is substituted
by a special low-complexity random unitary matrix of independent interest. The
main results of the paper are (i) spectral statistics of such billiards is
insensitive to the barrier height and (ii) it is well described by the
semi-Poisson distributions.

We develop a general framework to linearize the von-Neumann equation rendering it in a suitable form for quantum simulations.
We show that one of these linearizations of the von-Neumann equation corresponds to the standard case in which the state vector becomes the column stacked elements of the density matrix.
A quantum algorithm to simulate the dynamics of the density matrix is proposed.

We propose a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm for solving the Schr"odinger equation for atomic and molecular collisions.
The algorithm is based on the $S$-matrix version of the Kohn variational principle, which computes the fundamental scattering $S$-matrix.
We show how the algorithm could be scaled up to simulate collisions of large polyatomic molecules.

We will show that QT for both distinguishable and indistinguishable particles can be formulated in this way.
We will show that finitely exchangeable probabilities for a classical dice are as weird as QT.

This paper shows that there seems to exist no practical method of computing the normalising factors associated with Riemannian Gaussian distributions on spaces of high-dimensional covariance matrices.
It is shown that this missing method comes from an unexpected new connection with random matrix theory.
Numerical experiments are conducted which demonstrate how this new approximation can unlock the difficulties which have impeded applications to real-world datasets.
